Currently at a T2 consulting firm working at post MBA level (been at the firm for 4-5 years).

I have a job offer at a big tech company (Google, FB, Amazon) in Strategy & Ops with total comp slightly below what it is at my firm.

I don't think I want to stay in consulting long term (the hours and stress are getting to me)

Would you take this offer?

Big tech TC is all about RSUs and potential growth. So I wouldn’t be bothered about TC being low unless you are betting on google stock not growing. Ideally it will be much higher.

S&O is a typical exit to Big Tech from T2, so you are not doing anything unusual. If you want to work in big tech , then this is as good as it can be…only thing better would be joining Anthropic , OpenAI, NVIDIA …which are at the forefront of AI universe. Only reason not to exit will be if you want to make partner, then you should try another consulting firm

Depends on company. Amazon/Meta have very different WLB than Google.

Yes. FWIW - I had a very similar decision process and ended up making the decision to exit to a very similar role a few months ago. At the end of the day its a personal decision, but so far I'm happy! Feel free to DM more if you wanna chat, I don't wanna dox myself

Depends on your career goals and wlb preferences, but as I don't plan to stay in consulting for long, i d personally take it. You get in, with good tc and looks like a good position if they matched your consulting tc, so that you'd be able to shift roles inside if you see anything more exciting. Techs are pretty frexible with lots of internal transfers. The most difficult is to get in.
Also, strategy and ops in the end might turn into anything. You might have many things in the pipeline. Maybe you'd like it more than expect
And, imo Google brand is better than t2 consulting with all my respect to t2 consulting. You'd boost your resume much more than staying in t2.
Let us know here later how it goes for you
Good luck

Take the job!

Take it
